“About 6,000 people die each year — that’s skilled manpower the country loses annually,” Zahid said, urging youths to value their lives and families.
Note that Thailand has a high number of annual fatalities, estimated at about 18,000 to 25,000, with motorcyclists making up a significant portion of these deaths.
